My passion for photography started in 2009: I was in South Africa and amazed by the beauty of the scenery. However, I couldn’t quite capture it the way I wanted with that crappy digital point-and-shoot camera I owned, especially in low-light situations. So I went on to purchase a professional DSLR camera and was keen to figure out how to make great images. First it was all digital. And I didn’t stick to a particular genre or style. I was just experimenting and having fun, mostly while travelling.
Then in 2017 and 2018 I went through some life-changing moments. These (both horrific and joyful) experiences helped me to evolve and made me think about life differently. And as photography does play a major part in my life, my mindset and approach in that area have changed, too.
I believe that everyone should pursue what they are most passionate about in life (for the highest good of all) so that we can evolve into better human beings, spread goodness in the world and fulfill our purpose. I love exploring historic places and stunning landscapes with a camera. Capturing the mood and telling a story about a certain place or situation is where I feel truely alive.
Choosing to work with film cameras for my projects (since 2017) fits nicely to my vision. I embrace the limitations and simplicity of the gear. That’s an opportunity for me to slow down and also be more creative. Of course I am a fan of the unique look that film produces: It’s far from being perfect: It’s charismatic and distinctive. So is life.
